[Establishment of Factories in Japan]
In Japan, factories equipped with machinery (working machines, power machines) were first established by the shogunate and powerful feudal domains as foreign pressure intensified toward the end of the Edo period. Representative examples include the shogunate's Uraga Shipyard (1853), Nagasaki Ironworks (1861), Sekiguchi Manufacturing Works (1863), and Yokosuka Ironworks (1864), the Mito domain's Ishikawajima Shipyard (1854), and the Satsuma domain's Kagoshima Shuseikan (1857) and Kagoshima Spinning Mill (1867). With the exception of Kagoshima Spinning Mill, all were military factories aimed at manufacturing weapons and warships, and were established by importing machinery and equipment from the Netherlands or France and employing foreign engineers and craftsmen.

*Some of the terminology used in reference to the Kagoshima Shuseikan Museum is listed below.
